VBSR2080W0AA Hotpoint Washer - Instructions

Was very easy to remove and replace. The instructional video let me know what to expect

Unit unplugged. Next day delivery, saved plastic clip and two screws from hose connect to washer , removed leaking hose ,replaced with new hose fully pushed into unit with plastic clip already in place on new hose. Tightened screws on plastic holding clip on new hose. Done complete job in 5 minutes.

I replaced the water level pressure switch but that did not fix the problem. I tried to replace the pressure tube with some rubber tubing from the hardware store but that did not fix the problem. I replaced the tubing with the correct pressure tubing for PartSelect and now it seems to be working fine. I think the old tubing had a small leak in it I could not detect and the hardware tubing was not exactly the same as the manufacturer part. Anyway it was still a lot cheaper than a new washer. Thanks for the parts and the videos, you made it a do it yourself job. John

The motor assembly (630 in the parts diagram) has a spring pin in the drive shaft to connect the drive shaft to the clutch. The spring pin had shattered. Instead of replacing the entire motor assembly ($365), I ordered a new clip from PartSelect, and a new spring pin from McMaster-Carr. Used a screwdriver and mallet to drive out the old spring pin and install the new one. Reinstalled the clutch and clip and everything was good to go.

Unplug washer, turn off water and remove the supply hose, remove 5 torex screws remove panel disconnect two wire plugs remove 2 philips screws squeeze hose clamp remove old valve install new valve reversing directions

Unplugged power cord and shut off water supply. Then removed both water hoses from the dual water inlet value using adjustable pliers. Next removed four (4) star screws on top of the control panel. This required the purchase of a #20 torq screwdriver from sears costing $3. 99 Plus tax etc. Once the top panel lifted upward and to the left I was able to unplug both electricle connections on the water inlet vlaue. Next unscrewed two phillips head screws holding the water inlet value in place. Installed the new water inlet value in reverse of above. Time to complete was 22 minutes. Very easy repair to accomplish.

We were lucky, the agitator came off on its own. Removed the coupler which cracked when a sheet got stuck underneath it! Replaced coupler and new screw/nut combo, popped on agitator. That easy.

WATCH THE REPAIR VIDEO! I followed the easy instructions and replaced the water level pressure switch in no time. It was very easy to do!

My 45 year old son did it in the shop, and it only took a short time before we were washing clothers again, and no water on the floor. The part came through the day after I ordered them. Thank you very much

Remove agitator remove retainer screw and using Prybar lift off the old coupler ..... After removal use heat gun and wire brush to remove plastic residue from the splines of the motor shaft ... While the shaft is still warm line up the splines from the new coupler and using the mallet force the coupler on the shaft ... Install the retainer screw that comes with the coupler and snap on the agitator ... Done

I pulled up on the fin part of the agitator exposing the gear coupling. I unbolted the nut on top with a 12 mm socket. Once the nut and washer were removed I pulled up on the gear coupling and slid it right off. Reversed procedures to install the new one.
